pitchless
Lacking tonal variation
Pitchless describes something lacking pitch—the quality of highness or lowness in sound.
A pitchless instrument produces noise rather than tones: drums and cymbals are pitchless compared to pianos and violins.
In speech, a pitchless voice is monotone, without the natural rises and falls that convey emotion: His pitchless delivery made the lecture unbearable.
